MDE FROM THE ARCHIVES: FRANKEN BLAMED LINDA TRIPP AND ANN COULTER FOR 9/11

By Michael Brodkorb | July 26, 2007

"For example: Franken weighed in following separate interviews with Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware, and terrorism expert Richard Clarke, both of whom talked about 'wagging the dog,' a reference to conservative accusations that Clinton diverted attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal by launching attacks on terrorists. 'In an odd way, I blame Linda Tripp and [conservative author] Ann Coulter for Sept. 11, because if they hadn't dug this stuff up, it may not have happened.'

Huh? Franken wasn't joking — his co-host didn't laugh and there were no goofy sound effects from the producer. So, if he truly meant what he said, listeners may want to consider Franken's credibility as a political commentator. If he didn't mean it but said it anyway, that's equal reason to weigh his ability to provide intellectual content." Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, April 7, 2004

Folks, this stuff is crazy. Ann Coulter is responsible for 9/11?

    Well Linda and Ann are both evil, so I would not put it past them. Everyone knows they are too dumb though to pull off such a plot.

    By “evil”, I assume he means “women who are intelligent and independent”.

    Liberals like to keep women in “their place.”

    Which according to the latest democRat to hold the highest office, that would be on all fours with a cigar in an unusual place. ;)

    I wonder if anyone will ask Hillary how she feels about interns working in the whitehouse?

    Mark, what is evil is people like you who seem to defend the enemy – who by the way would be just as happy to remove your head as any one else who they define as an infidel.
    One day you will realize this and that will be the day I am sporting a new bumper sticker on my car that says “I brake for Marks Head”.

    To be certain, Linda Tripp is sort of a witch. But vilifying her doesn’t excuse what Bill Clinton did.

    I also never made much of the “wag the dog” argument. Timing is timing. Maybe it was a diversion, but maybe it was just a coincidence. I’ll give Bill the benefit of the doubt on that one.

    He did almost nothing to fight terrorism, but at least he killed a couple Islamists in that episode.

    Frankly, Colleen Rawley is far uglier than Tripp.

  7. Big Kahuna Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 2:07 PM

    Just what does that say about Hillary?? Is she possibly so skanky that Bill felt Tripp would be a step up? ;)

  8. Mark Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 2:42 PM

    Wow, my own bumper sticker! Sweet!

    It’s also good to hear that all the Americans who disagree with Ann and Linda are “defenders of the enemy”.

  9. Drew Emmer Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 3:22 PM

    Mark, disagreement is welcome. Branding someone as “evil” is quite another thing altogether.

    You were characterized as a “defender of the enemy” because you suggest that two American women are perhaps responsible for the terrorist attacks on 9-11-01.

    But you present a brilliant example of how some liberal comentators lose credibility by making a switcheroo like you did in :
    “It’s also good to hear that all the Americans who disagree with Ann and Linda are “defenders of the enemy”.”

    You make it hard to take you seriously.

    “Intellectual content” is not a term that Leftists recognize.

  11. walter hanson Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 4:05 PM

    Do we have to take this seriously?

    Come on Al? Why will Ann Coulter want to try to plot 9-11? To sell books? She is such a successful author she doesn’t need to plot things to sell books.

    Not to mention a friend of her’s (Ted Olson’s former wife died on 9-11). So in order to plot this attack she allows a friend to die?

    Al you can’t be that stupid, but apparently you are! What’s worse is what does that say about the people who are giving Al money.

    And both of them are major babes when compared to Andrew.

    The people who give to Franken are nothing but hate filled people who have no room in their worlds for others who do not share their views.

    mark has been listening to air america too much..one of maybe 3 listeners…… he is repeating DNC talking points…”Conservatives evil…. “progressives wonderful”….not fully realizing that the Nazis considered themselves “progressives”…Holocaust..abortion..same thing

    Seriously, folks. This kind of statement from Franken is what passes for debate on the liberal side.

    Mark, you are a hateful little girl.

  19. Turkish Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 10:05 PM

    Linda Tripp is nearly as ugly as that sow Marty Siefert is married to.

    Ann Coulter is a dirty transexual hoor who enjoys being “Eifle towered” by Sean Hannity and Michael Savage.

  20. Chris Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 10:25 PM

    Michael,

    Please delete Turkish’s comment. Mrs. Siefert is not fair game. As far as I’m concerned, Turkish can go get f*cked for picking on Siefert’s wife. She is not fair game. Leave it to a liberal chicken shit to pick on a guy’s wife. As for Ann Coulter being a transexual, I have two words for Turkish: Janet Reno.

  21. Andrew Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 10:42 PM

    “And both of them are major babes when compared to Andrew.”

    How did I get dragged into this? For your information, I have a date Saturday and have another guy lined up for when the other guy goes off to college 3 hours away. So ha.

    Lets see, Chet, the comment that liberals keep women in their place while contrasting that with Anne Coulter and Tripp being independent and intelligent. Explain. I dont see how liberals have ever “put them in their place” Liberals are the ones who advocated for them to be able to vote and have equal pay and such, conservatives fight against it.

    Anne Coulter is independent but intelligent, HA! She is someone who would say something as stupid as what Franken said. Both say stupid shit so people buy their books. Franken says these two women caused 9/11, Coulter calls someone a fag.

  22. Chris Says:
    July 26th, 2007 at 10:56 PM

    Andrew,

    You said you have two dates lined up with two different guys. And that is supposed to impress us how, exactly?

  23. AlFrankenFraud Says:

    Turkish,

    You’re as classy as a liberal can possibly be.

  24. Honeydog Says:
    July 27th, 2007 at 3:38 AM

    So Andrew, what you are saying is that you are male whore then? By the way, whores have a tendency to be fugly.

  25. Greg Lang Says:

    Let’s have some fun with “guilt by association”. Around the time of the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) Samuel Byke tried to highjack an airplane with the intent of flying it into the White House. Byke was killed on the ground before the plane could take off. At an SLA safehouse the the police discovered that the SLA had been using pilot and flight attendent attire and cover stories for occupations. A government “think tank” actually envisioned a scenario where the SLA would highjack an airplane. Crashing it into the Pentagon was considered along with key West Coast targets.

    The US government had actually forseen the 9-11 type attack in the 1974! This is factual.

    From here it gets speculative. The arrest of Kathleen Ann Soliah/Sara Jane Olson-Peterson occurred in June 1999. That’s two years before 9-11.

    To liberals, women are sperm catchers. And when their dumb enough to get knocked up, they send them to the clinic.
